Yeah, thats the problem with draft speculating!

We get our hopes up for players like Okoye and Spencer and more than likely we won't end up with either of them

You just have to trust Kevin Colbert and Mike Tomlin (all the Steeler scouts) to make sound picks. It would be nice if they read all the Pittsburgh sports blogs for suggestions but we know they don't and won't!

Since it does appear that we will get a couple extra picks for last years free agent losses I hope they do some wheeling and dealing to move up in a couple places to nab some quality stars! Because you know we don't have the room on the roster for 9 picks to make the team anyway! Trade away a couple picks to gain draft positions! Just remember that there are draft gems out there on day 2 even though the Steelers rarely find one!

the thing is, even if we previously did draft some superstar, we would never know because cowher never kept late round picks, he would never replace a veteren player with a 7th round pick...its just the way he always was

Agreed

I think thats why Steeler Nation is abuzz with new hope that with the regime change we will finally see the good ole boy network busted up and thrown away! Musta been a hopeless feeling getting drafted late by the Steelers! Knowing that no matter how badly you beat out the veteran ahead of you on the depth chart you were still gonna get cut! I don't want to bash BC but at the same time I am glad he is gone! I will be very dissappointed if BC is overly critical of the Steelers on his football analysis!
